beautiful, crystal-sonic beauty courtesy of Mr. Miller; the band, despite plenty of blown lyrics throughout this show, holds their own in the 2nd half for an overall great performance.

Subject: First ever "Not Fade Away" crowd chant?
As best I can tell, this was the first time they ever closed a show with NFA and got the crowd going with the NFA crowd chant. Is anyone aware of any earlier show that the crowd went into the NFA chant?

This show, and the next night in Burlington, are perhaps the best back-to-back ever. The energy was amazing, the band was really on, and both were 'dripping with factor'. I will agree that there was some missed vocals, but who goes to hear Jerry sing? A 'Show' is on when Jerry and Phil are in sync, and they are dead on here. I was maybe 20 feet from Garcia, and he was visably annoyed with himself for blowing the first line of Help (He sang Help on the way instead of Paradise Waits), so, to make up for it, his first note of Slipnot! was so thunderously loud, I thought the roof of the Arena had been blown off. The place shook like an earthquake. Later, Lesh drops bombs during Terrapin that knocked the wind from my lungs. Amazing

Charlie Miller has given us another gift in the form of a beautiful sounding flac(free lossless audio codec)16 SBD version of this lively show. April of '83 has some damn good shows, perhaps better than the September-October ones, and this Broome County 2nd set is a prime example. The sound is easily five stars. In fact, it's one of the best sounding shows I've downloaded here and, let me tell ya, I've downed my fair share. If you're searching for a good, make that great, clean sound for 1983...this is it. No question.

The musicianship is of course outstanding. Set list is worthy. Vocals are extremely solid, just check out Wharf Rat and listen. I'm tempted to go with five stars here but will check myself and give this download four stars to get the ball rolling. It's up to you, my fellow heads, to see about changing that and bring it up to the five stars it may deserve! You know you can trust StrawRider to lead you in the right direction. Now what? Get it.
